This post is mostly photos that I have picked off my iPhone. I take between 1-10 photos daily on my phone and that is the reason why I forget about my “real” camera very often. Below is the last few months captured of daily life, trips, swimming, schooling, play and etc.
As each year passes and my birthday creeps up, in my mind I always go back and re-analyze my previous year. The things I look for is did I make a difference in this world? Did I make a difference in my children, in my relationships with people? Was I a good wife, mom, daughter, neighbor, friend? Nothing scares me more than living a self absorbed life without leaving any type of legacy behind. Daily I ask my Creator to mold me into a better person, to show people who He really is. It’s a daily challenge but yet He gives me strength and keeps my eyes on Him, even in the most unknown and difficult times. I praise my Father for yet again a wonderful, beautiful, challenging, exciting and useful year. I thank Him for giving me breath as without Him, I would be absolutely incapable of living. I am glad to say, I have blessed a couple of people on my birthday, it was a couple of strangers that had no idea what was coming, but I know I made their day. I pray that we as a family will get better at it as years go by and will always bless someone on our birthday. Bella is beginning to understand more and more what that entails and is excited to give as well as to receive of course 😉 Somehow giving always brings more joy than receiving. We had a blessed time at our home, celebrating with family. I wouldn’t wish it any other way. Thank you my precious family for blessings me and spoiling me with your presence and the gifts. I didn’t deserve any of it. Thank you Lord for yet another year!
